The increase will come into effect from the end of February and will be achieved through a combination of adding an additional round trip sailing per week and by deploying higher capacity ships on the route. The addition of two very large ro-ro newbuilds to CLdN’s extensive and modern fleet later this year, allows for this rapid response to customer requirements. This fleet expansion also further enhances CLdN’s ability to ship unaccompanied freight across the North Sea with low CO2 emissions.

Florent Maes, CEO of CLdN, commented: “CLdN continues to invest heavily in both its fleet and port infrastructure, and we are glad to see an increased customer support for our freight routes from Zeebrugge to East Coast UK. We were pleased to underline our long-term commitment of providing an extensive service to customers for shipping freight between the UK and EU at a meeting with the UK government Maritime Minister, Mike Kane MP, in Purfleet last week.”
